Manchester United is delighted to announce that Marcos Rojo has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until June 2021, with the option to extend for a further year.

Rojo, 27, signed for United on 20 August 2014. During his time at the club, he has won an FA Cup, a League Cup, the UEFA Europa League and a Community Shield.

Marcos Rojo said: "Since I joined Manchester United, it has been everything I thought it would be and more. I am extremely happy to extend my stay at this great club. When I joined, my aim was to help the team win trophies and we have done that over the past couple of seasons. I am working hard to get back on the pitch. I would like to thank the fans for their support and the manager for the confidence and help he has given me both on and off the pitch."

Jose Mourinho added: "Marcos has gone from strength to strength over the past couple of seasons, and has always shown great professionalism. Although his injury has kept him sidelined over these past few weeks, Marcos is working hard to return to full fitness. He is always ready to put his body on the line for this club and I am delighted he has signed a new contract."

Happy with this. Looks like at least one of Jones and Smalling will be out the door this summer then.

Certainly hard to see how we can accommodate another CB without selling one, Smalling appears to be a favourite of Jose's however with persistent Arsenal interest he might be the most valuable of those on the chopping block

Good news if he can return to pre-injury form. He seemed to return awfully quickly, but he looked half the player in the few performances he made since then, with a few decent moments. A solid CB on his day, when he's not two-footing anything with a pulse.

It would have been nice to have seen him come back strongly after his injury before giving him a new deal. Then again this is the situation as we find it and it's probably preferable to sign him up now and hope he returns firing for us than see him leave on the cheap this summer.

Always felt he was average. Next season. We'll be talking about him as 'deadwood' as early as next season and he'll probably spend most of this time on the bench on ridiculous wages and unable to be shifted

I think jose clearly rate him above smalling , jones , blind and probably lindelof. He gave him 3 years extension despite being injured and he is possibly won't be hard to deal with.
He will be the longest serving Argentinian in our club

Rojo, to me, is a solid backup CB/LB option— he has good qualities about him but I don’t think he’s a top defender. Sometimes when he gets isolated in the box, I’m almost waiting for a him to go into a rash challenge, either winning the ball in a great sliding tackle, or completely wiping out the attacker and conceding a penalty.
